"All souls are immortal, even those of the wicked, for whom it were better that they were not deathless. For, punished with the endless vengeance of quenchless fire, and not dying, it is impossible for them to have a period put to their misery." (Clement of Alexandria, Fragment 6, from the Book on the Soul)
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, the official organization of the Jehovah's Witnesses, claim that there is no such thing as an immortal soul, and that the final fate of the wicked is to be completely annihilated from existence rather than consigned to hell for an eternity of torment. But is that what the early Christians believed?
Using more than 100 quotes from the same sources approved by the Watchtower as early Christian authorities -- Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Hippolytus, and Origen -- Mike Partyka proves that the early Church did indeed believe in an immortal soul and an eternal hell.
